Democrat Mark Dayton said today that former President Bill Clinton will headline a fundraiser in New York City on December 13th to help Dayton pay for the recount. Dayton said the event will be held at the home of financier George Soros. Dayton also said he's is trying to schedule a fundraiser for December 15th that will be hosted by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Sen. Amy Klobuchar and others. Dayton says that fundraiser will go to his campaign. Dayton's recount director says Dayton raised more than $1 million to date for the campaign's recount efforts.

Dayton says he believes he's leading Republican Tom Emmer by about 9,000 votes after three days of counting ballots. He says he's confident he'll be the winner of the race once the recount is over.

Dayton made the comments after he was briefed on the budget situation.

Republican Tom Emmer refused to answer any questions from reporters after he was briefed on the state budget on Thursday morning.

George Soros and Bill Clinton on the stage together. Too bad NPR wasn't invited to be a triumvirate. You just can't have too many uber socialists.

This shows Dayton and Amy Klobuchar are corrupt. Soros admits to turning in approx 150 people of Jewish faith to the nazi's...just so he could sell their belongings.
